How does the journey end?
Véronique Clair's story continues as the Frenchwoman from Burgundy joins two other apprentices on a journey across France to the home of Madame Jeanne du Barry, former mistress to deceased King Louis XV. Motivated by her dream of sewing for the wealthiest women in France, Véronique soon finds that dream side-tracked as she struggles to fit into this new world. Everyone at the Chateau du Barry—from fellow servants to the abusive house manager, the head cook, the arrogant black man they call the Governor of Louveciennes, and the Madame herself—finds a way to remind her of her limited place in society.
With barely a moment to sew there is somehow plenty time for regret. Was this new chapter worth sacrificing her parents' peace of mind and a comfortable—if loveless—arranged marriage? Is the Chateau where she's meant to be or has she, foolishly, made an impetuous decision to upend her life for no good reason?
Set in idyllic Louveciennes, France, come with beloved character Véronique Clair to the land that inspired Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro in this follow-up novella to Véronique's Journey.
…Sometimes you have to chase the moon to find your destiny.
